Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate total playlist time?+

Add each video's duration using our calculator. Enter hours, minutes, and seconds for each video, then click "Calculate Total." The tool adds all durations and shows the total in multiple formats (HH:MM:SS, hours, minutes, seconds).

How much time do I save at 1.5x speed?+

At 1.5x speed, you save 33% of the original time. A 60-minute video takes 40 minutes. At 2x speed, you save 50%โ€”a 60-minute video takes 30 minutes. Use our Speed Calculator tab for exact calculations.

How do I convert minutes to hours and minutes?+

Divide by 60. The whole number is hours, the remainder is minutes. Example: 157 minutes รท 60 = 2 hours 37 minutes (2 ร— 60 = 120, remainder = 37). Use our Convert tab for instant conversions.

What's the ideal video length for learning?+

Research suggests 6-12 minutes is optimal for learning videos. Attention drops significantly after 15 minutes. Break longer content into chapters and take breaks every 25-30 minutes (Pomodoro technique).

How long would it take to watch all of YouTube?+

Impossible! Over 500 hours of video are uploaded every minute. Even watching 24/7 at 2x speed, you'd fall further behind. As of 2024, there are billions of hours of content on YouTube.

How do streaming services count watch time?+

Most platforms count watch time when you've viewed a significant portion (usually 30+ seconds or a percentage of the video). Skipping, pausing, and rewinding may affect how time is calculated for analytics.

Can I calculate time at custom playback speeds?+

Yes! Use the formula: New Time = Original Time รท Speed. For example, a 2-hour video at 1.25x speed: 120 minutes รท 1.25 = 96 minutes (1 hour 36 minutes).

How long is a typical Netflix series?+

A typical Netflix season has 8-10 episodes at 45-60 minutes each, totaling 6-10 hours. Shorter series like limited series may be 6 episodes (4-6 hours total). Use our calculator to add episode lengths.

What's the recommended daily screen time?+

Experts recommend limiting recreational screen time to 2-3 hours daily for adults. For children, 1-2 hours is recommended. Take breaks every 20-30 minutes to reduce eye strain (20-20-20 rule).

Does this work for audio/podcast durations?+

Yes! Time calculation works the same for any mediaโ€”podcasts, audiobooks, music playlists, or video. Enter durations and calculate totals exactly the same way.

Tip: Watching at faster speeds can save significant time. At 1.5x speed, you save 20 minutes per hour. At 2x speed, you save 30 minutes per hour!
